Douchebag of the Day
Morgan Stanley Vice-Chairman Rob Kindler:
The license plate is self-explanatory, but you should also know that the Porsche Cayenne Turbo is the near top-of-the-line version of an utterly wasteful and pointless SUV. It has a $100,000 base price, so this vehicle probably cost a bit north of $120k.
Wall Street Banker’s Vanity License Plate Would Get an Auto Exec Tarred, Feathered [Jalopnik]
humor
so subjective
may I take this opportunity to rant about vanity plates.
I fucking hate them. hate them. they are big here because I think they are free. I sometimes think if I see one more stupid cutesy bullshit vanity plate poking along in front of me I will run them right the fuck over.
rant over.
somehow missed that yesterday was World Aids Day.
here is a rather sad gallery of famous faces lost.
TJ: what do they mean “99 bottles of beer ON THE WALL?” How can they be on the wall? Do they mean on a shelf? Shouldn’t they be in the fridge, or a cooler?
@Prommie:
Found a source for weed recently, didja?
To me, that’s like giving someone a recurring monthly bill.
@Capt Howdy: My brother, bless his heart, has one with a German word he didn’t know how to pronounce until I told him.
@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches:
well
I would be paying for it.
thats sort of the idea.
Oh. You would pay for it forever?
@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches:
well not forever but I see your point that the card should include some disclaimer that I do not intend to pay for it forever put in somewhat more diplomatic terms.
@Prommie: I thought it meant on top of a wall/fence, like the Berlin Wall.
That might be pretty nice, if you paid for it for a longish period of time, I guess. Do they do gift cards?
@Capt Howdy: On the upside, they make much easier to remember the plate of the SUV that ran your Honda off the road. I think of vanity plates (name says it all) as labels for douchebags. You have fair warning from the moment they pull up in the car.
@Prommie: @Jamie Sommers: Princess that I am, I pictured something like a plate rail.
@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches:
they do
if you click on the link they make it very easy which is why I thought of it.
plus the only thing I hate more than vanity plates is shopping.
I think I have a deficient homo gene or something.
on a side note that car site you linked to liked my new Ford Edge. more or less.
I like it too.
